Shadows (Avenged Sevenfold).

The as-yet-untitled project includes completely remixed and remastered tracks from Pitch Black Forecast’s two previous self- releases (an out-of-print full-length and EP), plus a special bonus EP by Bitch Wrangler.

“This record is a compilation of my favorite Pitch Black Forecast songs, which are remixed with additional tracking and far closer to my initial vision,” said Popson, who recently rejoined Mushroomhead for their Top 20 Billboard-charting new record, The Righteous & The Butterfly.

“The funny thing about side projects is the time frame in which you must deliver, sometime things are rushed and unfocused. With this release we’ve trimmed the fat and took our time compiling what I consider the definitive Pitch Black Forecast release.”

Popson will appear with Mushroomhead on the Rockstar Energy Drink Mayhem Festival this summer.

As stated previously, the album features guest vocals from Blythe, Shadows, and Townsend, and will include a special bonus EP. The project will mark the debut of another Popson side project named Bitch Wrangler. A four song EP titled Spitef*ck will be included as bonus tracks.

“Bitch Wrangler is some totally original, experimental music that is meant to offend,” Popson said.

Both the Pitch Black Forecast and Bitch Wrangler projects will be released this fall.

Devin Townsend Project have posted another performance video from By A Thread: Live in London 2011.

You can check out “Planet of the Apes” below.

Townsend & Co. played four shows in London in November 2011, all of which were dedicated to his most recent album concept — a journey through Townsend’s different musical moods.

The project started in 2009 with Addicted and Ki and ended with last year’s Deconstruction and Ghost. All four shows were filmed and released this month as By A Thread: Live in London 2011 through HevyDevy Records/InsideOut Music.

http://www.revolvermag.com/news/final-six-the-six-hottest-chicksugliest-dudes-in-metal.html#commentsThu, 20 Oct 2011 21:21:36 +0000http://www.revolvermag.com/?p=26272Chris “Fatneck McFlabbyass” Krovatin is the author of two young adult novels, Heavy Metal & You and Venomous. He is currently working on multiple new writing projects, as well as new material with his local New York metal band Flaming Tusk. He is a freelance writer for Revolver and generally comes off as a good-natured pain in everyone’s collective ass.

Let me be frank with you guys: I totally love Revolver’s Hottest Chicks in Hard Rock issue. It’s arguably my highlight of the heavy-music-magazine year (second only, of course, to the Hit Parader Dick-Touching Tournament). Now, while some readers may snicker and say, “Of course you do, Chris, you fat fucking onanist,” you’re missing the point. The issue is rarely tawdry or disrespectful, but rather a reminder to myself, and hopefully to others out there, that there are many confident, talented, and beautiful women making extreme music right now. (To be fair, though, as a man who likes his women reality-based, the issue could use a plus-size metal chick or two.)

Similarly, I don’t respect an all-male metal band unless at least one of them looks like he’s going to eat my face, take 30 shits, and die. For dudes in extreme metal, hideousness is currency; in fact, the misshapen mugs of Jagger, Vicious, and Kilmeister lead me to believe that rock and roll itself is saturated with a tradition of calculated freakishness amongst men, which only adds to their overall sexiness. When I see a metal singer trying to gyrate me into submission, I get pissed; when he looks like the thing next to the trashcan I passed on the way through the parking lot, I’m down like a clown. So, step right up, Golden Gods and gross bastards alike, for my picks for the Six Hottest Chicks and Ugliest Dudes in Metal.

The Six Hottest Chicks In Metal:

1) Doro Pesch Not only is Doro still incredibly fine in her 40s, she’s also unspeakably metal. When you imagine a post-apocalyptic warrior woman, you think of Doro Pesch. No. 1, easily.

2) Liz Buckingham of Electric Wizard Every metalhead dreams of finding a cute blonde in a denim vest who just wants to smoke weed, worship Satan, and play thunderous doom-metal guitar all day. So simply put: Ms. Buckingham is every metalhead male’s dream come true.

3) Karen Cuda of Nashville Pussy The streaky-haired bassist for Southern metal’s filthiest band is an energetic biker babe built for sin. There’s something enchanting about a woman who might beat you up…

4) Sean Yseult of White Zombie With the face of a cherub, the bass of a mortician, and the threads of a sideshow freak, Ms. Yseult will always be remembered as as the band member who brought credible sexiness to one of the sexiest bands in metal. Unless you’re really into dreadlocks and cowboy hats.

5) Grace Perry of Landmine Marathon Not only is Landmine Marathon’s singer one of the most brutifal vocalists in metal, but she’s incredibly nice, and a Trekkie. So a smoking nerd who screams death metal. Jesus.

6) Dr. Mikannibal of Sigh This stunning saxophonist-vocalist for Japan’s premiere black-metal troupe has a PhD in physics and records her parts in the nude. Just be careful, boys—on her MySpace page, her first two interests are “prostate” and “urethra.” Yikes…

The Six Ugliest Dudes In Metal:

1) Erik Rutan of Hate Eternal The best death-metal vocalists are the ones who actually look like they’re going to murder you in a cave and eat your bones. Well, this guy has bone-eater written all over his severe, misanthropic face.

2) Billy Milano of S.O.D. I feel like it’s one thing to have a mean-looking frontman, but it’s another one entirely if he’s an offensive, lumbering, drug-crazed fat fuck. Points to metal’s funniest band for their freakish singer.

3) Devin Townsend: OK, these days, the genius behind Strapping Young Lad et al. looks like this (see left). But remember, he once looked like this. Oh yeah. You can’t un-see it.

4) William Murderface of Dethklok This unhygienic, overweight, club-footed gap-toothed piece-of-shit bassist is a perfect representation of everything disgusting about death metal. What can I tell you, pobody’s nerfect.

5) It of Abruptum Fuck glam metal, it’s all about getting laid. Let’s be the anti-glam and try to never, ever get laid! I know! Let’s hire a repulsive corpse-paint-caked dwarf for a frontman! Brilliant work, everyone!

6) Oderus Urungus of Gwar Say it with me now, kids: OH GOD NO.
